You would need to have at least 1 discreet port for every service that
requires socket connection for operation.  It would be nice to open up
more ports so that the random port numbers have greater diversity
(like having more radio channels for FHSS ).
The port numbers should be low, though.
Services typically return service on higher port numbers.
So you could open a range from 90 to 6000 and then skip 443 and 445
(because those will be typically scanned).

I wonder what snort would think of that.
It would be hard to create a ruleset for snort that it could follow
without it knowing the cryptographic sequence.
